Voting

I feel that not voting is the same as voting. It just says that "whatever
the rest of you decide is okay by me". It reinforces the status quo.
Personally I think a more valid "none of the above" option would be to cast
a vote for a long shot candidate. One who's not likely to win. It lets the system know that while you're not happy with the two major candidates, that you're still willing to participate
in the process. It's often what I've done. Sure it makes little impact if
any, though I think more are finding that option with third party candidates
they actually like (won't be happening much this year), but the party that
loses in a close election will know that victory could've been theirs had
they captured more of the third party vote, as was the case with the Dems
and Ralph Nader (and the Repubs w/ Pat Buchannan not too long ago). More
votes in play means the parties have to work harder, less makes their work a
little easier.

More on this subject another time...
